To the Occupy Movement

[unionworks]

Things were looking pretty dark last year. There was a feeling of surrender and powerlessness that wove through the days. Then one beautiful fall day, there you were. Standing proud, free and peaceful in the face of ulgliness and brutality - and yet you would not be silenced. Thank you for rekindling the fire in my heart and making me believe in people again. Please accept my tears seeing what you have endured in the name of freedom as my humble gift. God bless and protect every single one of you in the coming year.

THANK YOU!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!


SOLIDARITY AND SUCCESS TO YOU!

1. Viva Occupy! nt

2. Seconded from a Unionized nurse

But do conserve your energy. Our Arab spring comes this spring. Let's winter over and then nonviolently, but resolutely, take our country back.

And hey, even if you get kicked out of Zuccotti tomorrow, this was spectacular symbolism. I should have seen it coming. We all should have. You (and we) rock.

3. Hand salute and thank you OWS

Don't let the bastards get you down.

4. The only ray of sunshine in a nation going nowhere.

[Laurian]

I am looking forward to a strong and active OWS in 2012.

10. I have a feeling Occupy is going to be HUGE in 2012.

[xiamiam]

16. I have the same feeling..nothing will change in washington or wall street and by march, occupy

will be picking up steam after more foreclosures and joblessness and military posturing and spending and wall street crimes or bonuses... while politicians and pundits continue pontificating instead of actually doing something.... and other assorted nonsense... drives the rest of the 99 percent into the streets

23. Only if the economy fails to improve.

OWS is driven by angst and fear because of the economy.

[jimlup]

11. I agree with your feeling of hope yet

I think that Occupy has very far to go and a very tough road to travel. I don't think that they will succeed but they may help make a dent.

I hope that I am wrong and they do succeed. I will do what I am able to help.

[unionworks]

12. They made more than a dent already

They forced the M$M to discuss their issues or drop all pretense of being nothing more than a corporate sockpuppet. And I believe that is also exactly what they are going to do to both parties primaries this year. Right here in the right now.

[Remember Me]

18. They already have succeeded, will continue to succeed, and to mobilize ALL

of us, one way or another.

JOIN them -- you can do it. What injustice or wrong can you stand up to today?

[barbtries]

13. yes.

thank you OWS

[jwirr]

14. Absolutely. My heart began to sing again the minute I heard about what they were doing. I have

been waiting since the 80s for someone to stand up again. We are with you. Keep the issue on the front burner.

[xiamiam]

15. Gives me hope as well...nt

[WiffenPoof]

17. Very Nice....

I predict that we will see a resurgence of the Occupy Movement this Summer.

22. Thanks

For posting this! They were hoping Occupy would just go away. They were wrong.

[Zenlitened]

20. Occupy the New Year!

[unionworks]

21. If my beloved Democratic party

Would remain faithful to it's principles and supporters, if it would show half of the courage and integrity Occupy has, IT WOULD NEVER LOSE AN ELECTION

24. Thank you Occupy for giving me hope

and here's to a revolutionary spring and summer.
